BOOLEAN operations also can be used to improve search accuracy and search efficiency.

Text auto-completion

Users are offered ‘auto complete’ search service by CNGBdb. If users type partial keywords into the CNGBdb search bar, auto-complete will finish typing it for users.

Users are offered ‘auto correction’ search service by CNGBdb. With this search service, users will receive suggested spelling search results if they type their search queries incorrectly, which can help users find what they are looking for in an easy and fast way.
